Bug#381591: xterm: locale mode does not work
Package: xterm
Version: 210-3
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n
After upgrading from sarge to etch xterm stopped showing cyrillic
characters and changed fonts. My .Xresources file contained
XTerm*locale: true
XTerm*VT100.utf8Fonts.font: -xos4-terminus-medium-r-normal--20-200-72-72-c-100-iso10646-1
XTerm*VT100.utf8Fonts.font2: -xos4-terminus-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-80-iso10646-1
XTerm*VT100.utf8Fonts.font3: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1
XTerm*VT100.utf8Fonts.font4: -xos4-terminus-medium-r-normal--20-200-72-72-c-100-iso10646-1
XTerm*VT100.utf8Fonts.font5: -xos4-terminus-medium-r-normal--24-240-72-72-c-120-iso10646-1
XTerm*VT100.utf8Fonts.font6: -xos4-terminus-medium-r-normal--28-280-72-72-c-140-iso10646-1
Running
xterm -fn -xos4-terminus-medium-r-normal--20-200-72-72-c-100-iso10646-1
worked, so I added
XTerm*VT100.font: -xos4-terminus-medium-r-normal--20-200-72-72-c-100-iso10646-1
XTerm*VT100.font2: -xos4-terminus-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-80-iso10646-1
XTerm*VT100.font3: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1
XTerm*VT100.font4: -xos4-terminus-medium-r-normal--20-200-72-72-c-100-iso10646-1
XTerm*VT100.font5: -xos4-terminus-medium-r-normal--24-240-72-72-c-120-iso10646-1
XTerm*VT100.font6: -xos4-terminus-medium-r-normal--28-280-72-72-c-140-iso10646-1
to .Xresources. But this doesn't help with non-utf8 locales.
Also xterm -lc now shows
xterm: bad command line option "-lc"
which contradicts to "man xterm".
P.S. I also was hit by #368285.
